Lionel Messi turned hero for the Catalan side as they won the Supercopa trophy against Real Madrid in 5-4 aggregate scoreline. Messi’s goal two minutes before the time frame game vital lead over Madrid, finally clinching the title.
With the scores level at 2-2 from the first leg last week, the Argentinean set up Andres Iniesta for the opener only for Cristiano Ronaldo to equalise five minutes later.
Messi himself restored Barca's lead, but Karim Benzema brought the visitors level eight minutes from time as Madrid made their pressure pay.
Fabregas came on moments later for his first appearance for the club he left as a 16-year-old following his return from Arsenal.
The match looked headed for extra-time until Messi volleyed a late winner before Marcelo's sending off for a reckless scissor tackle on Fabregas sparked an injury-time brawl in which Mesut Ozil and David Villa, both of whom had already been substituted, were shown red cards, and Madrid boss Jose Mourinho appeared to tweak the ear of one of the Barcelona staff.
But if the game ended in ugly scenes, it started with one of beauty as Barcelona went ahead in the 15th minute with a goal of simplicity and brilliance.
Messi escaped his marked in midfielder for long enough to slide a perfectly-weighted through-ball into the path of Iniesta, who waited for goalkeeper Iker Casillas to go to ground and coolly dinked the ball over him.
